Description

As a Staff Mission Architect at Impulse , you will define the mission-level logic that guides our future systems before any vehicle architecture is conceived. This role begins where customer inputs are vague or incomplete — broad mission challenges, loosely defined operational goals, partial technical desirements, or emerging government concepts needing structure. You will transform these uncertainties into quantitative, defensible mission requirements that shape early pursuits and enable disciplined architecture development. You are the bridge between Business Development and Program Management/Engineering. Business Development brings customer ambitions; you convert them into mission-level requirements; Advanced Mission Concepts Engineers (AMCEs) then develop conceptual system solutions; and Program Management later matures these into full products. You ensure every mission has a clearly articulated analytical foundation before systems design begins. S. Government customers and program offices, and travel up to approximately 25%. Lead mission-level analysis across payloads, constellations, ground systems, C2, cyber, and operational context to define mission success criteria and performance thresholds Convert vague customer desires into quantitative “small-r” requirements that guide downstream conceptual design Develop and employ mission-level modeling and simulation tools for things such as coverage analysis, NIIR
